Obvious Child Ratings & Reviews
Ryezoo
February 14, 2025
Topped by a great performance by Jenny Slate, this is funny, heartfelt, and takes the audience down a rabbit hole of situations getting worse and worse. I felt for her character and loved how standup is a part of her life. Bought 80% of the humor in this movie lands and thought the first 5 minutes was a little rocky but after that it’s almost smooth sailing. Glad I got to finally see this and I definitely need to check out Jenny Slate now!
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
It doesn't overtly try to be anything more than what it is, which makes it that much more cool to watch.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
Robespierre's direction of the many fine actors she assembled is assured, her sense of pacing nicely loose-limbed.
Film School Rejects
Kate Erbland
It's bold, but it's not a film that's just trying to be bold; it's just trying to be real -- and it is.
HitFix
Guy Lodge
This generous, hilarious character study suggests Jenny Slate has more still to offer.
Philadelphia City Paper
Sam Adams
Slate, who had a brief and unremarkable tenure on Saturday Night Live, proves a winning companion; it's a hang-out movie, and she's fun to hang out with.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
Hats off to any film that tries (and succeeds) at presenting challenging, off-putting characters from whose palms I'm reluctantly persuaded to eat.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
Despite a few too-cute moments, the movie is both smarter and more sympathetic than that glib shorthand.
Us Weekly
Mara Reinstein
A wonderfully offbeat film about, yes, an abortion.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Slate is adept with biting remarks and self-deprecation, and she balances Donna somewhere between flightiness and innocence.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
Sorry, partisans, but there's nothing obvious about "Obvious Child."
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Obvious Child takes the same shape as its elfin lead actress; it's just a slip of a thing, and it slips easily into different guises, from coarsely funny to gloaming-gloomy.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
A cross between a Woody Allen farce and a one-woman show by Sarah Silverman.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
"Obvious Child" enters territory rarely trod by romantic comedies - it's clear Donna's in no way ready to have a child - and does so with warmth and wit.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
A foul-mouthed comedy with an immature heroine has treated a thorny issue with remarkable candor.
Newsday
John Anderson
Virtue and vulgarity fight to a draw via a film that should put the vivacious Jenny Slate and director Gillian Robespierre on everyone's indie radar.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"Obvious Child" is being promoted as a groundbreaking topical comedy about abortion. But it's less than that. And more. And, basically, not.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
A movie that feels risky and forgiving and, despite its traditional rom-com contours, refreshingly new.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
The heroine can't seem to come up with any material that doesn't involve bodily functions; she never goes near the subject of motherhood, which proves that the filmmakers are scared to death of their own story.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Moment to moment, you believe what's happening in Robespierre's film, which is funny and rueful in roughly equal measure without being despairing in the slightest.
